Diagnosed with breast cancer, renowned photographer Gemma Levine determined to use her skill and connections to write a book about her experience that would be a companion, a resource, an aide and, finally, a practical guide to the incredible journey all cancer patients must travel to regain control of their lives.
In 1975 Gemma Levine boldly entered the world of professional photography, as an amateur, to chronicle the work of the sculptor Henry Moore. They forged a unique bond, and under Moore's tutelage she went on to develop her own striking photographic style, building a diverse and unexpected career that took her from the deserts of Israel to Buckingham Palace as one of Britain's leading portrait photographers: 'With a camera in my hand, I have come to see the world as full of infinite possibilities.' Containing more than 150 stunning images from a rich body of work that spans nearly four decades, this beautiful volume relates her special relationship with Moore; travels across Israel, including encounters with Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan and Yitzhak Rabin; and interactions, by turns amusing and poignant, with many of Britain's most remarkable personalities, from Sir John Gielgud and Sir Nigel Hawthorne to Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and Diana, Princess of Wales.
"How does a great creative artist go about his work? Gemma Levine has photographed and recorded Henry Moore at work in his home and studios to produce this intimate portrait. The evocative and perceptive photographs accompany Henry's Moore's own words to show the genesis of his creations from the sources of inspiration -- stones, driftwood, jawbones of animals -- through his drawings and maquettes to the finished sculptures, lithographs and etchings."--Jacket.

Larry David, the man behind two of the most successful and critically acclaimed sitcoms in television history, is the focus of this biography. This unofficial guide follows the career that has accorded him status as a comic genius and garnered a fanatical following—from his early exploits as a stand-up comic to his role as producer and cocreator of Seinfeld and HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. It explores the back-story of the conception and development of Curb Your Enthusiasm, a mostly improvised sitcom in which the actor stars as a fictionalized version of himself. The comic’s on- and off-screen relationships with colleagues and friends such as Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Wanda Sykes, Mary Steenburgen, and the cast members of Seinfeld are discussed, and a detailed episode guide to every season of Curb Your Enthusiasm completes this informative and entertaining glimpse into the life and creative process of a great comic talent.
